Plant a large-scale hedge, windbreak, or landscape project with these European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) seeds. This hardy, adaptable deciduous tree is highly valued for privacy screens, formal hedges, allees, bonsai, and reforestation plantings.

European Hornbeam grows in a pyramidal shape when young and matures into a rounded crown with smooth gray bark and distinctive fluted trunk texture. Its dark green, sharply toothed leaves remain attractive all season before turning vibrant yellow to orange in fall. In early spring, decorative catkins appear before the foliage emerges, followed by small nutlets that support birds and wildlife.
